panikraum – selbst
Album | 21/02/2026 | Major Label

Post Punk / Punk Rock
Mönchengladbach, Germany
After a contribution to the compilation smiling shadows – 20 Jahre Major Label and three split releases, panikraum are finally back with their second longplayer selbst. On fourteen tracks, the quartet tells of the insanity that comes with human interaction and life in our post-modern world. A central motif of the album is staying true to oneself or becoming oneself again. The band serves melodic and melancholic sounds which oscillate between punk rock and post punk. Thus, here are forty minutes of empowering heavy sounds.

Nuremberg’s pizza punks are back, they are battle ready, and they brought a horse! Faster and heavier than before and with a small change in the line-up, Average Pizza present sixteen new tracks to burn your palates. On this tasty collection, you will find anthemic tracks next to fast-paced bangers. Horse is crammed with pop cultural references for cineastes, humorous climaxes, and antifascists call to action. Without doubt, this is Average Pizza‘s hottest, most diverse, and yummiest output so far.

On their second longplayer, Nuremberg’s quintet The Citadel invites the listeners to a psychedelic trip into a healing parallel universe.

And as after the dark comes the light, The Citadel let the sun rise and spread its warmth on the listeners’ ears and souls. Dawns On Mental Highways is a beautiful healing release full of hope and positivity. These cinematic and gorgeous blues rock themes combine fragility with resilience, and let hope rise like a bird into the sky.
